Hi, just purchased an X3, and about to take delivery of a CNC Fusion CNC kit, steppers, controllers, etc... Have also purchased a Vertes HV-6 Rotary Table and will buy a Division Master conversion kit to create a 4th axis.
I'm interested if anyone has attempted thread cutting using a similar setup with Mach 3 control. The approach being to hold and slowly rotate the stock in the 4th axis, and have a milling cutter in the collet that has a 60 degree taper for cutting the thread.
ideas/thoughts/comments appreciated.
